    I never heard of someone's eye color changing after cataract surgery, but some people have said their eyes sort of "glow" after they have cataract surgery. I'm not sure if this only happens with certain IOLs or not though. Maybe that's what you're seeing. The glare could get better over time and the spider webs are probably floaters like I mentioned in your other question.

    Another thing you can do is eye exercises. Look up, look to the right, look to the left and look down. See if that helps some and keep doing it if so. Good luck!
